From the wehi.tv "Respiration" (2021) animation collection, presenting the molecular mechanisms that power your cells and tissues, converting food and air into the flow of chemical energy that makes your body be alive.

"Synthesis of ATP" shows how the proton gradient across the mitochondrial membrane powers the ATP synthase enzyme to make ATP.

These animations bring to life the molecular engines inside mitochondria that generate ATP, the main source of chemically stored energy used throughout the body.

Created in collaboration between wehi.tv and HHMI BioInteractive.org for a new collection of free biomolecular animations designed for classroom science education, "Synthesis of ATP" combines the world's most advanced microscopy techniques, cryoelectron microscopy and molecular models to engage students with accurate inspiring biology.
